Aircraft Will Fly Corporate VIP Missions
AgustaWestland delivered two new AW139 intermediate twin engine helicopters to Malaysian clients recently to perform corporate and VIP transportation. Nearly 30 AW139s have been sold in Malaysia with aircraft in service with corporate customers, Weststar Aviation Services, Bomba and the Maritime Enforcement Agency.
Customers in Malaysia benefit from a wide range of AW139 training courses for technicians and aircrew available at the AgustaWestland Malaysia Training Academy, including pilot training on an AW139 Level D Full Flight Simulator. AgustaWestland Malaysia also provides a wide range of support services for the AW139 from its Subang facility near Kuala Lumpur.
As the only helicopter in its class to meet all the latest certification standards, the AW139 is proving a popular replacement for older designs in a corporate and VIP transport market, where safety, comfort and performance are the foremost considerations. The AW139 delivers best-in-class performance with a maximum cruise speed of 165 knots, a range in excess of 500 nm, endurance of 5 hours and superior hover performance. With its power reserve, the AW139 assures Category “A” (Class 1) superior performance from a helipad (elevated or at ground level) at maximum take-off weight.
The AW139’s design ensures ease of maintenance and high availability due to reduced numbers of components, easy access to all the main systems by ground technicians, extended life-cycles for critical components and advanced diagnostics technology.
